The ninth annual Books by the Banks Cincinnati USA Book Festival, presented this year by Ohio Humanities, will make that dream a reality this fall in downtown Cincinnati. Books by the Banks is Saturday, Oct. 17, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. at the Duke Energy Convention Center. The Library is proud to once again join the festival as an official partner. This year, the festival boasts appearances by many bestselling national authors, including Rainbow Rowell, the wildly popular author of books such as Eleanor & Park and Landline; Sharon Draper, National Teacher of the Year and author of Stella by Starlight; Anthony Marra, the New York Times bestselling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena; and Cleary Wolters, the real-life inspiration for the character Alex Vause from Orange Is the New Black, who has written her own tell-all memoir about prison life. For the first time ever, the festival will award cash prizes as part of its inaugural Author Awards, sponsored by the Scripps Howard Foundation. Separate awards will be given for a writing contest sponsored by The George and Margaret McLane Foundation. And don't forget to look for the Library's booth at the festival for fun giveaways and information. The popular Kids' Corner showcases day-long activities, includes free balloon sculptures, face painting, and acts by top-notch children's performers. There is also an area for teens with special activities. The Writing & Getting Published series returns this year with panel discussions covering hot topics for writers and workshops to help hone the craft of writing.

Meet Paula Hawkins, author of the No. 1 New York Times bestseller The Girl on the Train. Hawkins will visit the Main Library on Thursday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. to discuss her life and work. Books will be available for purchase and a book signing will follow Hawkins' appearance, which is made possible in partnership with Joseph-Beth Booksellers. Honor the sacrifice of veterans at Main Library commemoration When the Main Library opened in 1955, it was dedicated as a war memorial to honor the servicemen and servicewomen from Hamilton County who gave their lives for our country since World War I.

Join us Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 10:45 a.m. for the 61st Annual Veterans Day Commemoration. The program will feature keynote remarks, patriotic music, presentation of Memorial Wreaths, lighting of the Flame of Remembrance, and Taps. LEST WE FORGET: RESEARCHING MILITARY RECORDS Air Force veteran and Veterans History Project interviewer Raymond Hughes will share case studies and resources for searching military ancestors at the Main Library on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 11 a.m. This program is co-sponsored by the Hamilton County Genealogical Society. LibraryLinks | Fall 2015 5 E M B RAC IN G T ECHNO LO GY A NEW ERA How technology is transforming your Library You may not realize it, but as a Library cardholder, you are witnessing a historic shift in Library services. Think back to the way you used your Library card 10 years ago. You had to show up at a building, card in hand, to check out materials. If the Library was closed, you had to wait until the next day to check out books or do research. You had to stand in a line at the reference desk to have your questions answered. Technology is making it easier than ever to use the Library, bringing you closer to ideas and information and saving you time and money. Now you can get your hands on the books, movies, and music you love more quickly and when it's convenient for you. Here's how! MOBILE SERVICE MEANS NO MORE WAITING IN LINE We are one of the first libraries in the country to offer the "desk-free mobile service model" to customers. At the Clifton, Reading, and St. Bernard branch libraries, as well as in certain areas of the Main Library, you will find no desk. Rather, our staff members carry mobile tablets with them as they walk through the branch, so they can offer help to customers wherever they need it. "We pursued the idea because we're a forwardthinking institution with a history of applying advances in technology for the benefit of our users," says Information and Reference manager Ben Lathrop. "One of our strategic goals is to excel in customer service by making the Library more convenient to use, exceeding customer expectations, and providing a welcoming environment for all Library customers. Mobile service does that." Your Library's mobile service model is being studied and implemented by other library systems across the country. 6 LibraryLinks | Fall 2015 RFID MAKES CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT OF ITEMS EASIER AND FASTER RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. The technology allows your Library to move materials around more quickly. By the end of 2015, at many of our branches, our cardholders will be able to set a small pile of materials on an RFID pad and have them checked out all at once! At our new branch libraries, (Clifton, Reading, and St. Bernard) RFID check-in will remove items from your account as soon as you put them into the book drop. RFID also lets the Library do inventory, sort holds, and distribute items faster and more accurately, meaning we can get your favorite book, movie, or CD to you more quickly! "The primary benefit goes directly to our customers," says System-wide Services manager Holbrook Sample. "The ease of checking out materials is remarkable. The speed of checking in materials makes customer information more accurate and consistent with our goal of immediate, excellent service." DIGITAL LIBRARY GIVES YOU ACCESS TO RARE AND UNIQUE COLLECTIONS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE Your Library has a collection of nearly nine million items, one of the oldest and largest collections of any library in the country. We're committed to digitizing those items using equipment purchased with grants provided by the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the State Library of Ohio. The digitization of valuable documents like photographs, letters, diary entries, shipping and trade directories, school yearbooks, and slides allows people from all over the world to have access to these items for professional and personal research. 1937 Flood: The Digital Library includes hundreds of lantern slides, including this photo of flood damage in Lawrenceburg, IN. E MBRAC I NG TEC HNO LO GY The recent additions of MakerSpaces at the Main Library, St. Bernard, and Reading branch libraries are the beginning of a new era for Library cardholders. The Library is no longer just a place of refuge, research, or entertainment—it's now a stepping stone to new aspirations and dreams. MAKERSPACE INSPIRES CREATIVITY FOR HOMESCHOOLING FAMILIES Homeschooling parents and students use the MakerSpace at the Main Library for Home School Meet-up. Each Friday, the program features a themed activity. The idea came directly from the parents, says MakerSpace Team Leader Ella Mulford. "Some of the homeschooling families were talking to me about their co-ops and how the MakerSpace would be a perfect fit," says Mulford. "Many co-ops do not meet on Fridays, so this was a good opportunity to fill in a gap in their schedules." PAST PROGRAMS HAVE INCLUDED: Circuits 101 – Learning the inputs and outputs of circuitry through various combinations. Hack My House – Using pre-designed templates, craft materials, and snap circuits to create different buildings. Drawing Bots – Creating machines that can create drawings and paintings independently. Synth Orchestra – Getting creative with your musical side using our synth circuit kit. "I like the MakerSpace because it's opening their eyes to what's out there and inspiring creativity," says Britt Maher, whose four oldest children are homeschooled. "We want to encourage them to think outside the box." Another homeschooling parent, Sarah Bowman, says, "It's awesome. They get to experience real technology and use their imagination in a cutting-edge sort of way, which is amazing. The Makerbots are still capturing their imaginations three weeks later." FROM RHINESTONES TO THE RUNWAY How one man used the Library's MakerSpace to launch his dreams Da'Mon Butler, a Cincinnati jewelry and accessories designer, always hoped to break into fashion design. He had the creativity and drive, but lacked one essential technical skill—Butler didn't know how to sew. Fortunately, Butler was a regular at the Main Library's TechCenter and learned about the new state-of-the-art MakerSpace that would include sewing machines and instruction. Butler worked closely with MakerSpace Senior Library Services Assistant Beth Thomas to learn how to run the sewing machine. "He's (Butler) very independent and creates his own designs," says Thomas. "He isn't following traditional patterns or sewing instructions. He is just going along. When he gets stuck, he will work with me to find the missing background information." Butler found himself stitching seams in no time. "Da'Mon taught himself how to sew a zipper in," says Thomas. "He has been able to create many things on his own. His willingness to figure many things out on his own attributes to his success." After learning the sewing basics, Butler felt comfortable enough to connect his artistic vision with his new skill. In just a few short months, Butler made the transition from jewelry designer to fashion designer. Butler's tribal and eclectic designs hit the runway April 18 during the Spring Fashion Show VII presented by the African American Studies Department at the University of Cincinnati. Twelve models strutted across the stage in Butler's designs. All the clothing used in the collection was upcycled using upholstery fabric from Mill End Draperies. "The MakerSpace has so much to offer—the only restriction is your imagination," says Butler. Butler's fashion and jewelry designs are available for purchase. He uses the handle Nomad3176 on social media. Butler also sells articles of clothing, accessories, and jewelry during Second Sundays on Main, through October, noon to 5 p.m. For more about MakerSpace and its programs, go to www.CincinnatiLibrary.org/MakerSpace.

The exam included the following questions: According to Bernice Ussery's A History of the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County 1802-1961, when Nathaniel D. C. Hodges became Head Librarian in 1900, a number of changes were made to the Library. Hodges believed "The success of the library as an educational institution depended primarily on the intelligence and training of the staff." In May of 1901, according to Ussery, three catalogers, who were graduates of library schools, were hired.

text: whitepandamusic The White Panda Chicago, IL, United States Hailed as "the mash-up kings" by Vibe magazine, The White Panda began when two boyhood friends discovered they had independently embarked on electronic dance music careers in college. What started as a procrastination method to avoid schoolwork soon exploded into a phenomenon when their first single topped the Internet radio charts in 2009, marking the start to an epic moment in music. Since 2009, The White Panda boasts five full-length, critically acclaimed albums and 35 #1 singles (and counting) on the Hype Machine. Recently, the Pandas have begun to explore the world of original production and have released five originally produced remixes to date. With more than 60 million SoundCloud streams and more than 25 million YouTube plays, the DJs' signature throwback-meets-modern sound has captured ears everywhere. (Just two years after they started, Panda was one of SoundCloud's top five most-streamed artists.) Called "a veritable party-mashup machine" by Entertainment Weekly and also featured in Billboard, The White Panda is known for their signature, high-energy live show complete with C02 effects, projection design, and of course, digitally mastered panda masks. The team has headlined several U.S. tours, as well as played festivals like Lollapalooza, Firefly, Electric Zoo, and Bamboozle. The duo has shared also the stage with some of the biggest names in music, such as Flo Rida, Wale, Nelly, Twenty One Pilots, Dispatch, Steve Aoki, Tiesto, Mac Miller, Mike Posner, Benny Benassi, MGMT and more. whitepandamusic's tracks The White Panda - Save Dat One For Me (Lil Dicky ft.

garypen: If companies didn't make most of the "genuine" items in China, these almost-perfect Chinese knockoffs wouldn't happen as frequently.
Gucci and LV don't have any factory in China but the counterfeit bags are everywhere. Someone I know is in the business of buying US made merchandise and ship them back to the east for this purpose. The manufactures here do not take order from certain country.
There is a typo under the spec, right below the Key Features. It says the weight is 5.4g. I think you meant 5.4kg.
Nice shot! If I were the judge of this challenge, this will be the first place photo!
Very nice! Congrats on the first place. How did you mount your camera?
Personally, I don't like the photos but I learned something from it.
"I really had no idea that there would be a possibility for setting up a studio."

Bring a paper cutter to a gun fight. That's one of many photogs worst nightmare when we are not getting the essential information of the event. So who is responsible to find it out? Us, the photographer, unfortunately.
If in doubts, it won't hurt to haul the entire army of all your gears to the event. better be safe than sorry.
"Joe had come armed with two cameras and three lenses (17-35, 70-200 and 300), plus one flash and a 12-inch laptop."
Skipping a standard zoom is also a big no-no in my book. For any event, any gig.
The bottom line is, if I were in his shoe, I wold focus on what I can do best with what I have.
Thanks guys for the compliment. This is one of my favorite shot.

Is there a way to get send() to wait until all the data that has been sent has been ACK-ed (or return -1 if the timeout for an ACK has been reached), or is there some other mechanism to wait for the ACK after the send() but before doing something else?
I am using the standard Unix Berkeley sockets API.
I know I could implement an application-layer ACK, but I'd rather not do that when TCP's ACK serves the purpose perfectly well.

Use it every day! I forget stuff constantly. This app is a life saver! Very easy and quick to set a reminder. The new interface is user friendly and the features are vast and easy to use. Very well written.
Simple, easy to use, awesome reminder app Terrific app I've used for years, highly recommended. Dev is terrific, extremely responsive to requests and communication. Easiest, simplest straightforward app.
Current location Why can't I use my exact location, why does it have to be an address? Would be nice to leave a reminder for myself in my exact current location cause I want to use this app so I can leave myself a remind to remember to grab my stuff that I loose frequently, other than that I love the app and would definitely give 5 stars if you made that a feature
5 STARS! On top of being a priceless tool, the support offered bu the developer is unheard of. I recently had an issue that was mostly my not understanding things. The dev never quit on me and got me going quickly! THANKS!

Trial couldn't connect to the internet
For reasons I was unable to diagnose the app couldn't connect to the internet. I had an active connection and I have never encountered a problem with apps having connectivity problems. This was annoying enough, but by trying to fix the problem and re-entering the app and encountering the error again and again I used up the entirety of the trial. I don't think this was deliberate, but I do know that I will not be purchasing nor considering purchasing this app now.More

Pretty impressive
The user interface could use some work, but the game itself is awesome. The rotating pictures really enhance the experience. I finally beat it with a character from a novel, but by that point I was very impressed at the depth of knowledge it has. Did all these entities get programmed in individually? I hope not! Also, the game ran fine for me but if it's slow you can go to the settings charm and turn off the rotating pictures.More

Huge potential
This game will blow you away, regardless of age or sophistication. However, the game is still buggy, offers no way to shift between pages or get out of a sequence once started.

Ok, it's been three weeks and I can honestly say, this stuff WORKS! I have thin, sparse asian lashes and brows and the Lash Growth Accelerator has most definitely filled out my brows and my lashes are slowly filling in too! I find it best apply the Accelerator as directed (with the brush) and then put a little on your pinky and then rub some into the roots of your lashes. This stuff is wonderful!

Did more for my lashes in one month than Mavala Double Lash did in 1 year!!
I no longer use Mascara. I use this in a.m. and p.m. It makes my lashes look healthy and glossy. No caking or flaking like the Mavala.
It is so cheap, everyone should at least try it!

I have been using this faithfully for 2 weeks. Im not sure if my eyelashes have grown but my eyebrows have definately grown some. The end of my eyebrows were thin and bald in some spots from over plucking and after using this morning and night for 2 weeks the bald spots have grown in & my eyebrows now look "bushy". I simply brush the gel on but for the bald spots I get a little glob of product and put it directly on the spot and let it dry. Wonderful product for the money. I do not like using this as an eyelash primer because my lashes seem to stick together and get clumpy when I put mascara on after this dries but my lashes are softer now. I will add at first I could smell the lemonish scent but after using it for 2 weeks I dont even notice anymore. I highly recommend this even as a replacement to clear mascara (this shows up better) I will be repurchasing and updating my review later on

I've held off reviewing the Lash Accelerator until I had used it for almost a month. But I give it high marks. I've even returned a brand-new, unused Talika Lipocils back to Sephora. I don't need it anymore. The Ardell ($3.99 at CVS) does everything and more. I use it both at night after cleansing and in the morning as an eyelash primer prior to mascara. Unfortunately, my lashes are very white blonde so I don't get to use the Ardell as a clear mascara like others though I can see that it would be excellent as just that. I think I'm going to ask Santa to pop a couple of backup tubes in my stocking. ;) INGREDIENTS: Water (aqua), Paeonia Suffruticosa Extract, Panthenol, Polytetrafluoroethylene, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, VP/DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer, Polyquaternium 37, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate Dicaprate, PPG-1 Trideceth-6, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil (Castor), Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, DMDM Hydantoin
UPDATE (January 2007): It was brought to me attention that the 4th ingredient is teflon, a known toxic substance and I have since quit using it. I now use Castor Oil on my lashes at night and have restarted using Talika Lipocils conditoner in the AM prior to my mascara. I'm very pleased with my results. continued >>

I still can't believe that this works! I have pretty sparse eyebrows from overplucking back in middle school and have been using Rogaine for 6 months with very minimal results. Almost 3 weeks ago I decided to try this and my eyebrows are getting fuller and I don't even have to use an eyebrow pencil anymore! I also apply this on my eyelashes every night and they seem less clumpy when I put on mascara, but I don't see a visible thickness to them yet. I paid $3.50 for this at Ulta and am definitely going to stock up on these!

OMG! This product actually works! I purchased it about two weeks ago, have been using it faithfully everyday, and have noticed that my lashes are looking fuller, longer and glossier. I was skeptical when I first purchased it because I thought to myself "If this product worked, there would be raves for it on MUA", but I was soooo wrong. I know that I can't be imagining this because I was always wishing I had a fuller lashline, and after the first week, I noticed little hairs spurting up! Not only that, I used to lose at least two eyelashes everyday, but since using Ardell, I haven't noticed losing any. I apply it after getting out of the shower after my lashes have dried (making sure I wiggle the wand all the way down to the lashline base), then once Ardell has dried, I curl my lashes (it doesn't stick to the curler) and it looks just like a clear mascara. I would definitely repurchase this amazing product; I got it at Ulta for $6.

I've been using this Ardell on my previously sparse eyelashes and brows for almost 3 weeks now and I must admit, by the 10th day, I was impressed. I actually use Lucia Essence (lash & brow treatment) first and once it's dry, which is about 5 min. later, I apply the Ardell as my mascara. Once the Ardell dries, I curl my lashes with my revlon traditional curler. The curl holds all day, and my lashes after 10 days use, look more beautiful and fuller than they ever have with regular mascara. I think it's contributed to the "cocktail" I use... Lucia/Ardell. I purchased Ardell from CVS, and Lucia Essence from Ebay after reading "rave" reviews on the EDS Forum (Essential Day Spa)... if you want to read on it, type "Long, beautiful lashes" in the search field. The Ardell darkened my brows and lashes a bit and also helped them thicken. My lashes have actually doubled with these lash/brow growth serums. I trimmed my lashes about 10 days ago so that they would grow evenly, and now the length is back, plus, my lashes are getting fuller/thicker/longer. Oh, I almost forgot... I used to have to pencil in my eyebrows because or baldish areas. Now, I don't have to anymore. My brows are filling in nicely. I'm very happy with this product in combination with the Lucia.

I have very sparse, fine, short ones and they've recently become a bit more numerous due to diligent use of lash conditioners, etc. I use Mavala Double Lash at night in conjunction with jojoba oil and Avon Beyond Color Triple Benefit Lash Conditioner since the latter is too obvious on my lashes to use during the day. I use this during the day under my mascara (which is waterproof--bad for lashes). The Ardell alone probably will not lead to any noticeable growth, but works fine to lightly condition eyelashes and maybe provide some sort of barrier between them and the mascara. It might work as a kind of clear mascara for people with thicker, lusher eyelashes than mine, but I wouldn't count on it for that. It's very cheap (around 3 USD at the drugstore), comes in a tube with a mascara wand applicator (a big, bushy one which does a better job at coating lashes evenly than the Avon or Mavala, BTW). There's a slight, glue-y scent, but it's not strong or bothersome. I've not noticed any weird side effects from using this (I wear contact lenses) and it doesn't de-curl my lashes or mess up my mascara. May be worth a try if you're in the market for a cheap lash conditioner.
ETA: This does hold a curl pretty well, but if you have fine, fine lashes like me, then you need to brush this on first, allow it to dry, then curl. Seems to make mascara go on smoother and I like using something that's supposed to help my lashes beneath something that kinda hurts them. Maybe it cancels out? continued >>

The full name of this product is "ARDELL LASH & BROW GROWTH ACCELERATOR," but that wouldn't fit in the product line so I abbreviated it as best I could...now let's get down to business: I tint my own lashes with a DIY lash tint kit in blue/black and I use three different lash conditioner/growth products (Starlash, DreamLash and the Ardell). In the past, I�ve also used Talika Lipocils and Mavala Eyelite Doublelash eyelash growth serums, so this isn�t my first foray into those types of products. My eyelashes are getting so dense and lush � not to mention longer � that they are actually getting tangled up when I try to apply any type of mascara or lash treatment so that I actually have to use the metal Sonia K. lash comb both before and *after* I apply them! Golly, what a terrible problem to have.... nanny, nanny, boo-boo: my eyelashes are longer than your�s are!! The trouble is, I don�t know which one of the three is responsible for it, or if it�s a combination of all of them. But I don�t want to stop using any one of them to try and find out.
Anyway, the combination of my longer, lusher lashes, and the glossy colored results I get from the DIY kit means that I no longer feel the need to wear a traditional mascara during the day. I�ve been searching for a clear mascara that will impart a look of glossiness, for a completely natural look.
Believe it or not, the best product that I have found for this is Ardell's Lash Growth Accelerator which isn't even a mascara, but a lash conditioner that is supposed to encourage growth. I've found that this stuff actually gives my bare lashes some definition (for the "natural, daytime look") and it also holds a curl all day with one of those traditional clamp-type lash curlers, so that's what I've been using the last few days and so far I'm very pleased!
This product clear, but it somehow defines the lashes and � I know this is my imagination because it doesn�t contain any ingredients that would do this � I swear it also makes my lashes look a bit longer. It�s the damnedest thing, really, because this stuff actually gives me the natural and healthy, but still defined, look that I�ve always wanted from a traditional mascara. It�s also a lash conditioner, so it�s going to give them moisture. And so long as you don�t apply anything on top of the Ardell, this stuff holds the curl all day long, regardless of whether you use a crimp-type lash curler or a heated lash curler. In my opinion, this stuff out-performs any �prestige� brand of mascara or lash conditioner that is on the market regardless of whether you�re talking $5 or $150. I�ve also used the Lamas Lash Masque myself, and although I liked it well enough, the Ardell blows it out of the water! The fact that this stuff costs less than five bucks makes it all the more remarkable. Ulta stores and most CVS Pharmacy locations have this stuff in stock, you�ll find it in the aisle/area where they sell the false eyelashes and false eyelash adhesives and the like. Personally, I�ve cleaned out two Ulta stores and one CVS of their Ardell, but I imagine you can find it at the other locations that I haven�t visited yet!! ;) *** ETA: I want to clarify one thing: the Ardell holds the curl in my lashes all day, but only if I do not apply any other product or mascara on top of the Ardell. If I use the Ardell as a lash "primer," then apply some brand of mascara over it, then the curl in my lashes (from a traditional crimp-type curler) goes limp within minutes. Fortunately, IMHO, I don't need to apply any kind of mascara on top of the Ardell because my lashes look just great without it! *** Bottom line: this stuff is fantabulous because it can do double-duty as a lash conditioner/growth serum and as a clear mascara. The lemming-master says you must rush out and buy this now!! ETA: Just to clarify, when I say that the Ardell will hold a curl all day long, what I meant is that I first apply the Ardell, wait for it to dry, then give my lashes a clamp-squeeze with my little Luxor Go-Curl curler and I�m good to go for the rest of the day. If you�re a fan of the clear mascara-look, you seriously need to try this stuff!

I have been asked to improve an automated test system that connects to a single device at a time in a given function area. Inside each given area there is a minimum of 10 devices (each one is connected to a single computer). What would be the best way to retrieve the MAC ID of the NIC on one of the computers using only the system name in Python to perform a verification check to determine whether or not the connection is to the right system to test?
If as will suggests, you're looking for the MAC address, here's how you could grab it:
If that isn't what you were looking for, you could still do something similar to grab whatever you needed from the output.

text: Ann Demeulemeester Womenswear A/W10 The queen of darkness turns to plumage and leather plaits. Fashion Show 5 years ago Tweet 5 years ago Photography Morgan O'Donovan Tweet x22 Ann Demeulemeester Womenswear A/W10 There's no need to wax lyrical about Ann Demeulemeester's specific niche in dark beauty. We've seen the trouser suits that look a little undone before and familiarity is the key to Demeulemeester's longevity. This season though, in addition to those staples, there's a more opulent spirit seen in the feathers which come thrusting out in collars on jackets and alson on the front in full plummage. A strong shade of scarlet red comes dropping through on leather jackets, a cape and a belted trench. Then a leather plait motif is introduced draping the necks and the fronts of tops, in Demeulemeester's version of fringing.

HP Sentinel is an SDN Security application that combines a reputation database, HP VAN Controller and OpenFlow to build a Campus security solution.

Does SDN represent the evolution of Network Management ? Yes but No It Doesn't

Notes: Notes on HP BladeSystem Matrix / Virtual Connect / Flex Connect
I had to prepare some notes on the HP BladeSystem and the networks functions of the Flex-10 / Virtual Connect / FlexConnect this week. Nothing fantastic but I think they provide a quick over of the key features that I felt are relevant for someone who is heading in the virtualization deployment using blade server for the first time. Although the customer looked at UCS, they felt that HP BladeSystem worked better for them and hence the vendor choice.

Review: HP and Optical Backplanes
There were a lot of cool things at InterOp, but not much that was new from the big vendors. For example, Cisco didn't announce anything, probably waiting announce at Cisco Live in July where they can control the press and message much more tightly. However, HP announced the A10500 switch (action pictures ) which is a new campus switch and Gnodal arrived with new products.
However in the centre of the HP stand there was something very cool – a prototype E8212 ProCurve switch with a fully optical backplane.
